Abstract
Heart failure is commonly accompanied by a major defect in myocardial function. The complexity of the structure of the heart explains the many possibilities of abnormal function: anatomical defects, valvular abnormalities, defects in the contractile machinery and reduced O2 supply all may result in inability of the heart to pump blood to meet the demands of the body. The inability of the pump performance of the heart initially results in compensatory mechanisms such as elevation in filling pressures with pulmonary congestion, followed by decreased cardiac output with general circulatory insufficiency.
